Is Your Dog Afraid of Thunderstorms? Marc Smith DVM, MS from Natchez Trace Veterinary Services has some crucial tips to help your furry friend stay calm during thunderstorms or 4th of July celebrations. Medications Visit your vet at least a week before the expected thunderstorms or fireworks to get the necessary medications. Most vets are more than happy to help you find the right solution for your pet. Practice Run Do a practice run with the medication to see how your dog responds. Remember, every dog is different, and their reactions to medications can vary. Timing Administer the medication one hour before the storm or fireworks begin to ensure it has time to take effect. Questions or Concerns If you have any questions about thunderstorm phobias or your pet's health, don't hesitate to reach out! #PetCare #ThunderstormTips #thunderstorms #middletennessee #weather #doganxiety #dogowners #velcrodog #dogvet #veterinarian #nashvilleveterinarian

Choosing the Right Breed for Your Pet • Pet owners should research breeds and ensure they have the resources and resources to own the chosen breed. • Consider factors like the animal's size, exercise requirements, and temperament. • Veterinarians should be aware of breed predisposition to disease to answer specific questions. • If possible, finalizing the purchase should be based on a satisfactory report from a veterinary surgeon. • If a problem is found that could be detrimental or have long-term financial implications, the animal can be returned. • Many clients bond quickly with their new pet and cancelling the purchase is rarely an option. • Treatment, especially surgical procedures, should not be initiated unless there are significant welfare issues. #smell_animals #pets #veterinarian

"A survey conducted in 2023 by the American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB) found most veterinarians and technicians support better utilization of credentialed veterinary technicians (CrVTs) as a solution to alleviate shortages in the veterinary workforce instead of creating a new midlevel practitioner (MLP). "A separate survey conducted by the Veterinary Management Groups (VMG)...asked members about the creation of a MLP. The respondents were ‘overwhelmingly’ opposed to the idea...[partly due to the] perception that MLPs are driven by interests in lower labor costs instead of actual need. The VMG survey suggested alternatives such as to improve and properly leverage CrVTs in practices, push for universal licensure for technicians, [focus] on enhancing and expanding technicians specialist programs, and increase pay and support for current technicians." #veterinary #veterinarymedicine #vetmed #veterinarytechnician #vettech https://lnkd.in/ezuazaAp Photo: Granville College Veterinary Technician Assistant Program

Veterinarians are compassionate about helping as many pet owners by extending their services to those who may not have readily available funds. Each veterinary practice offers payment plans to help ensure all pets receive the care they need. Denefits play a crucial role in supporting veterinarians by providing them with the right payment solutions. This, in turn, benefits pet owners by offering them the necessary financial assistance to cover expenses they may need some time to manage. #Denefits #VeterinaryCare #CompassionateVets #PaymentPlans #PetHealthcare #FinancialAssistance #Denefits #VeterinaryServices #AnimalWellness #PetOwners #SupportingVets #AccessibleCare

Navigating the decision to say goodbye to a cherished furry friend can be incredibly challenging for pet owners. The question of "how will I know it's time?" often lingers, and finding a definitive answer can be elusive, given the unique circumstances surrounding each case, influenced by the pet's illness, personality, and more. A crucial aspect of this decision-making process is assessing the pet's quality of life. This requires careful consideration, and your role as a veterinary professional is vital in guiding pet owners through this deeply personal evaluation. It's normal for pet owners to feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or sad. We completely understand the weight of this responsibility.
